How we scope a job
Most of what goes wrong on a renovation goes wrong before anyone picks up a tool. A scope that is vague in writing is vague on site, and the gap gets filled by whoever is standing there at the time. We scope in the opposite order to the way most quotes are put together. What does the property allow, what does the council require, what condition is the existing structure actually in, and only then what do you want. That last question is the easy one. The first three are where the surprises live, and they are the ones a walkthrough and a round number will miss.
What a quote looks like
We will tell you what is involved and which approvals apply before talking about price, and the price that follows will be itemised. Where something genuinely cannot be priced until a wall is open or a soil test comes back, that gets stated as an unknown with a range rather than buried in a single figure. It is a less comfortable conversation than a flat number on a single page. It is also the reason our final invoices tend to look like our quotes. If you already have a quote from someone else and want a second opinion on whether it covers the work, we will read it. Half the time the answer is that it is fine and the price is reasonable. The other half, the thing that is missing is the same thing that is always missing, which is what happens when the existing structure turns out to be worse than it looked.
How the area pages work
Each service below has its own page, and under it a page for every region where we have real work and real demand rather than a pin on a map. Those region pages cover the councils, the housing stock, the site conditions and the access constraints that apply in that part of Victoria. They are not the same page with a suburb name swapped in, because that page helps nobody and we have seen exactly what it earns. If your suburb does not have a page, it does not mean we do not work there. The region page above it will name it, and the quickest way to find out is to ask.
